Holidays in Mevagissey

Stay in Mevagissey and you’ll be perfectly placed to explore all that the south coast of Cornwall has to offer. Take a ferry trip to Fowey, visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan or spend a day at the beach at the nearby Pentewan Sands.

Best known for its harbour and fishing boats, Mevagissey still boasts as being part of Cornwall’s thriving fishing industry. Fresh fish can even be bought from the hut on the harbour wall, located a short stroll from the village aquarium, once the lifeboat station. Wander around the harbour area, with its narrow streets, fascinating shops and galleries and recall its smuggling history, or just relax in the bars and restaurants and coves and on nearby beaches.

There is a ferry boat which runs from end of April to beginning of October from Mevagissey to Fowey three or four times a day (don’t miss the return journey!) – journey time about 35 minutes. You may be lucky and spot some playful dolphins!

Beautiful views of the harbour. Comfortable and well equipped apartment. Stairs are manageable but could definitely do with an upgrade which we understand is being arranged. The property does suffer with condensation, which is only to be expected with a building this old and with the lovely original sash windows. Due to this we did leave the windows slightly open which meant we could appreciate the lovely views, but the downside was it did get cold. I was glad I packed my warm pyjamas and my thick socks But it is a lovely apartment with a gorgeous outlook

Thank you for your review of The Sail Loft. We can confirm the entrance staircase is due to undergo maintenance during February 2026, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during your stay regarding the aesthetics of the external steps.

Being open to the elements does mean that The Sail Loft, and many other coastal properties we market, are susceptible to condensation, so we do recommend doing exactly what you did and air the property whenever possible to prevent this as much as possible. We know it will not be possible in all situations or weather conditions but thank you for helping us keep on the property aired during your holiday. We hope we can welcome you back to Cornwall again soon. Katy, Customer Services.

Brilliant location but, as it is on a ‘working harbour’, on some days expect to be woken extremely early by fishermen going about their business. As we are early risers it was no issue for us. Showers were poor and needed to be set on ‘eco’ to get the best out of them. Apartment was very clean throughout and beds were very comfortable. Mevagissey is a beautiful little harbour with plenty of good places to eat or just have a cup of tea.

Thank you for your review following your stay at The Sail Loft, Mevagissey. It's easy to lose time staring out at the beautiful harbour front, whether it's watching the local fisherman start their day of work, or just watching the tide come and go. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the showers, the property has quite high-water pressure, so we have found that that using the 'eco' setting does provide the best power, but should any guests have any concerns or issues please don't hesitate to get in touch during your stay. We hope we can welcome you back to Cornwall again soon. Katy, Customer Services.

Great accommodation in a great location!

Note - You may need to park elsewhere. If you have a large car/SUV you will struggle to use the allocated parking due to narrow access.

We are so pleased you had a lovely stay at The Sail Loft. It's truly a great property to base yourself from for exploring everything Mevagissey has to offer. The views of the harbour are ever changing, and it's easy to lose hours watching the comings and goings of the quayside.

As you have mentioned, the parking space for the property may not be suitable for larger vehicles. We have tried to include precise measurements in the property description so guests will be able to tell if this will be suitable for their car. Our bookings team are happy to help with any questions or queries you may have about this before booking. Katy, Customer Services.

The position of The Sail Loft in Mevagissey could not be better, right on the harbour wharf and as short distance to everything you need for a pleasant stay in this wonderful little village, with shops, pubs and restaurant within easy walking distance, there is a reserved parking space close to the property, Aspect Holidays provided us with an arrival pack with property and local information, access to the property was via the usual keysafe.

The layout of the Sail Loft is sensible and felt comfortable, the property was clean throughout and decorated to a good standard, the main living area was large, seating is provided by a two- and a three- seater settee’s, there is also a large dining table that can accommodate six persons, and lastly the kitchen area with oven, hon and all equipment necessary to prepare and make meals if necessary.

The view from the two living area windows, and the main bedroom window, are fabulous over the inner harbour, you could sit all day and watch the world go by, or TV and Wi-Fi are available to help you pass the time, all heating throughout is by electric radiators.

The main bedroom bed could be bigger for a couple, but has the advantage of a wonderful view and an en suite bathroom, the rear bedroom has two single beds, in both bedrooms there is ample wardrobe and drawer space, there is a separate family bathroom across the hall from the bedrooms, but be aware you will be in sight of the surrounding properties through the clear glass of the entrance door.

If you have any issues climbing stairs, please be aware the property is accessed via three short flights of external stairs, exposed to the elements, not greatly lit and care needs to be taken when using these.

Thank you for your comments - it was lovely to read you found so many positives with the property and that it seemed to work well for you. We completely agree about those beautiful views, no matter the weather, watching the comings and goings of the harbour provides an everchanging backdrop to your day. Unfortunately, to get those great views, there are a number of steps to negotiate, and we hope this was what you were expecting from the description. We always try to be as open and honest as possible in giving an accurate representation of properties and hope that we have achieved that in this case, mentioning it may not suit those with limited mobility. We hope it didn't cause any issue for you and the rest of your party, but if this is something that is an important consideration if returning to the area, please do not hesitate to get in touch so we can help advise you before booking. We hope to see you back again soon. Sharon, Customer Services
